Pio Joseph "Peter" "Big Boy" Ambrosetti, a lifelong resident of the Town of Newburgh, entered into eternal rest at Northern Riverview Health Care Center in Haverstraw, on Friday, May 17, 2013. He was 86 years old.

The son of the late Pio and Mary "Millie" (Puglielle) Ambrosetti, Peter was born January 10, 1927 in Newburgh. He graduated from the Newburgh School system and went on to work for Grieco's in Newburgh and as a delivery driver for Abbott and Mills. He married Joan Lounsbury on January 4, 1953 in Newburgh. Joan predeceased him in 2001. Peter served as head usher at Sacred Heart Church, was involved with Newburgh Pop Warner, and was a member of the Pastime AC.

Peter was a gentle, loving man who gave so much to his family. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and a beloved great-grandfather to the "light of his life," Iris Rose.

Peter is survived by two sons: Gary Ambrosetti of Newburgh and Joseph Ambrosetti and his wife, Gail of Newburgh; his siblings: Rosanna Ambrosetti and Frank Ambrosetti, both of Newburgh; grandchildren: Alice Rae Kurman Kostrobal and her husband, Justin and Keith Kurman and his wife, Rebecca; great-granddaughter, Iris Rose Kurman; and nieces: Gay Miller and Susan Pagano. In addition to his parents and his beloved wife, Joan, Peter was predeceased by his sister, Jenny Vecchio.
